While moving it to the new building because no one else would pay that much for it either, one of the teen tellers dropped it and broke it into several pieces. It was then offered to me again, saying "If you can repair it, it's yours." I brought it home and Hubby put the puzzle pieces of broken glass back together. However a large crack where it was glued still showed. I bought some burgandy cord that you might use for tie backs for drapes and I made the slip knot and glued it over the crack going up the side so that it did not show. I have had it all these years now and still love it. It is on the table in the den between our chairs so we can both enjoy it.
The table had a broken leg and the top was scratched. The drawer was also missing. But hubby restored it and made a drawer for it! He is my hero! I love this little table. What have you redone lately, I would love to see. Here are more pictures:
Please come back soon, love having you visit!

It's a pretty lamp, but it's a shame they couldn't have let you have it for free before it was broken - I like seeing old furniture refurbished. I don't do it, but I think that a lot of old furniture are more sturdy than the newer ones, plus they seem to have so much more personality. I have always been fascinated with used wooden furniture. You are both very talented.
I hope your husband is feeling well today!
You are a very creative lady :)) I love the cord on the ship light..
That is so clever :))
The little table is wonderful and I did notice your work basket underneath :)) What are you making :))
Loved the lamp, the pictures were very good. wish I could take good pics, but I'm learning.

Kerrie, the table and the lamp are both beautiful.
We are both so blessed to have such wonderful husbands. I keep you both in my prayers.
